This summer on Planet Money Summer School, we're learning about political economy.
We're getting into the nitty gritty of what government does with things like trade,
taxes, immigration and healthcare.
So politics and economics, which are taught separately, they shouldn't be separated at all.
I think you have to understand one to really appreciate the other.
So what is the right amount of government in our lives?

Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Hurst.
The president is expected to sign a rescission measure soon,
taking back nine billion dollars in federal funding for foreign aid and money for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting,
which funds NPR PBS and their member stations.
This after the House passed the measure overnight.
NPR CEO Catherine Marr has more on how that affects NPR.
I think this is an exceptional time in American politics.
There's no question that members of the House,
senators that we spoke to on both sides of the aisle in private support what public media does,
whether that is their local station,
whether that is educational programming on television for children.
You know,
but there is a tremendous amount of political pressure right now to align with the administration's political priorities.
